Recent Advances in Coordination Supramolecular Chemistry

Dear Colleagues,

Coordination chemistry has a central role in supramolecular chemistry, allowing the development of sophisticated metal–organic assemblies with an amazing variety of geometries and shapes. The different coordination properties of metals combined with the large collection of ligands results in an endless number of possible compounds.

The multiple applications of coordination supramolecular chemistry include: fluorescent chemosensors for selective detection of cations, anions, and biomolecules through various co-ordinations in biology, physiology, pharmacology, and environmental sciences; the study of interactions of nucleic acids with small molecule ligands; the deveopment of drugs in anticancer therapy; molecular hosts for different analytes, etc.

Despite the progress made in the aforementioned field, several problems and challenges still exist. Nothing could be further from the truth, as we will always need ‘‘new’’ assemblies through different coordination.

This Special Issue will bring together publications in the field of coordination supramolecular chemistry. The publications will show the vast range of applications that can be achieved with coordination chemistry compounds. We welcome original research, reviews, mini reviews, and perspective articles.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
